The Catalina 400 offers three notable benefits over other yachts in her class. Her super wide cockpit and twin helm layout makes for an amazingly accommodating outside space — years before twin helms became the norm for yachts this size. Below decks, this extra beam affords a huge owner’s stateroom aft with a centerline queen berth with easy access from both sides of the cabin. Third, extra beam amidships leading aft leaves a ton of space for an amazing galley.

HIGHLIGHTS:

2 cabin/2 head layout with centerline queen owner’s stateroom aft

Huge gourmet galley with fantastic storage and dual refrigeration

Beamy cockpit with twin wheels and lots of seating for crew and guests

Two-zone reverse-cycle marine air conditioning

Cockpit arch with dinghy davits and wind generator

Updated exterior canvas

Dinghy & outboard

Catalina built their first yachts in 1969 and immediately made their mark on the cruising word with the innovations of designer Frank Butler. Over the following five decades, Catalina has produced a number of outstanding yachts, winning accolades and industry awards including fifteen ‘boat of the year’ awards thanks to their quality and continued innovation.

This Catalina 400 debuted in 1995 as a new and expanded version of their 380 model. They would go on to build 353 copies of this model over the next 17 years, a testament to the design and build quality of this yacht and the Catalina brand.

INTRODUCTION:

Catalina built their first yachts in 1969 and immediately made their mark on the cruising word with the innovations of designer Frank Butler. Over the following five decades, Catalina has produced a number of outstanding yachts, winning accolades and industry awards including fifteen ‘boat of the year’ awards thanks to their quality and continued innovation.

This Catalina 400 debuted in 1995 as a new and expanded version of their 380 model. They would go on to build 102 copies of this model over the next 17 years, a testament to the design and build quality of this yacht and the Catalina brand.

The Catalina 400 offers three notable benefits over other yachts in her class. Her super wide cockpit and twin helm layout makes for an amazingly accommodating outside space — years before twin helms became the norm for yachts this size. Below decks, this extra beam affords a huge owner’s stateroom aft with a centerline queen berth with easy access from both sides of the cabin.

COCKPIT:

On any yacht, the cockpit is the most important space aboard. It is where you spend the majority of your day whether it is sailing, relaxing, or enjoying a nice evening meal aboard. The Catalina 400 design does a great job of providing a spacious and functional area, especially with the yacht’s beam carried so far aft. The twin wheel configuration allows for easy passage space from the sugar scoop swim platform all the way forward to the centerline companionway hatch. All rigging leads aft and the primary winches are easily reachable from each helm, making single-handing a breeze.

RIGGING AND SAILS:

CHANGING CHANNELS has a flaking main sail with a Dutchman system for easy handling as well as a roller furling headsail. All of the rigging leads aft to the cockpit. With large primaries within reach of each helm, this yacht can easily be single-handed. The yacht also has autopilot, which allows you to completely step away from the helm to tweak sail shape.

DECK:

The decks of the Catalina 400 are easily navigable with wide side decks offering an easy path forward to the bow. No exterior teak means low maintenance! Stainless steel grab rails lead forward along the cabintop which is an easy step up from the side decks. The aft swim platform offers a comfortable and easily boarding location for swimming, getting aboard the dinghy, and getting on and off from a floating pier. Port and starboard board gates provide easy passage through the lifelines.

Below decks, you will find a warm rich and inviting interior space for lounging at the end of a cruising day. A gourmet galley lies to starboard, nav station to port, and a spacious main salon that takes advantage of CHANGING CHANNELS’ 13’5’’ beam. Reverse-cycle marine air conditioning and heat help make the salon a comfortable lounge space year round.

A large gourmet galley greets you to starboard as you come down the companionway hatch. Chefs always demand counter space on either side of the sink and cooktop and the Catalina 400 delivers. There is plenty of deep storage and lots of refrigerator and freezer space. There is even a designated storage spot for trash. This galley works!
